“As far as we can tell from a purely scientific viewpoint, human life has absolutely no meaning. Humans are the outcome of blind evolutionary processes that operate without goal or purpose. Our actions are not part of some divine cosmic plan, and if planet earth were to blow up tomorrow morning, the universe would probably keep going about its business as usual. As far as we can tell at this point, human subjectivity would not be missed. Hence any meaning that people inscribe to their lives is just a delusion.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

“The past is the past and the present is where she needs to be”
― Wendy Clarke, His Hidden Wife

“Obscenity is the distinguishing hallmark of a sadly limited vocabulary.”
― Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
